Cao Cao frowned and said: "Fengxiao, you don't know about the grievances between Zhang Xiu and me, do you think he is still willing to surrender to me?" ”

At the beginning, Cao Cao seized the aunt after Zhang Xiu surrendered, causing Zhang Xiu to rebel in anger, everyone knew about it, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Guo Jia said indifferently: "It is true that Zhang Xiu values face, but he has been able to defeat the prime minister several times before, all relying on Jia Xu's advice, and he must have relied on Jia Xu very much at this moment." ”

"Jia Xu is a smart person who knows how to be alone, otherwise he would not have persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to the prime minister."

"Who is better between Prime Minister and Yuan Shao, Jia Xu knows better than anyone else."

"Therefore, we only need to let the envoy sent to Wancheng visit Jia Xu first, and Jia Xu will definitely persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender to the prime minister again."

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction: "What Feng Xiao said is very good. ”

Immediately, Cao Cao looked at the officials under his command: "You heard it, right?" Who wants to go to Wancheng to give it a try? ”

The civil servants looked at each other, but not a single one of them said a word.

After all, what Guo Jia said is only one possibility.

What if an embroidery just wants to take refuge in Yuan Shao?

Wouldn't they have to go and never return?

While!

Cao Cao was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded angrily: "On weekdays, you talk about it one by one, and when you really encounter something, you will be a daughter, what is the use of me raising you?" ”

was so insulting, finally a person stood up and stroked his hand and said: "Prime Minister, I am willing to go to Wancheng to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender." ”

Cao Cao looked at it and found that the person who spoke was the lord Bo Liu Ye.

This person is a descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and is also a relative of the Han family, originally attached to Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, but a year ago Liu Xun was defeated by Sun Ce and came to Cao Cao, and Liu Ye also came to take refuge.

Because of Liu Bei's experience, Cao Cao no longer trusted these Han clan relatives.

However, since Liu Ye was willing to take the initiative to send an envoy to Wancheng, Cao Cao naturally would not refuse, and waved his hand:

"Okay, if Mr. Ziyang can live up to his mission, I will definitely reward him greatly!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Liu Ye clenched his fists heavily, he knew that for him, this was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once he completes his mission, he will gain Cao Cao's trust and make great achievements from now on......

At the same time, in the city of Xuzhou.

Xiao Feng explained to Liu Bei the strategy he planned later:

"Lord, after this heavy attack outside the city, our army has less than 20,000 mobilized troops left, and if the Cao army attacks, our army will definitely not be able to resist."

"However, Yuan Shao of Jizhou has the intention of going south to fight Cao Cao, so I feel that Cao Cao will not send troops to attack Xuzhou for the time being, but will prepare for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao."

"I think that when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are decisive, our army can unite the three roads and attack Xuchang together."

"When the time comes, Cao Cao will not be able to take care of both the beginning and the end, and he will inevitably be defeated, and our army can take the opportunity to develop and grow in the Yan and Henan areas."

Listening to Xiao Feng's explanation, Liu Bei asked suspiciously: "I don't know what Feng'er said is the three-way army?" ”

Xiao Feng took out the map and continued to explain:

"The first way, that is, Liu Pi and Gong Du who are entrenched in Runan County, these two were originally the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they were entrenched in Runan, they respected the lord, and the lord sent an envoy to solicit them, and these two people must be willing to cooperate with the attack on Xudu."

"The second way, is Wancheng Zhang Xiu, three years ago, Cao Cao conquered Wancheng, Zhang Xiu surrendered, but because Cao Cao forcibly occupied his aunt, causing him to rebel again, since then Cao Cao is incompatible, Wancheng is the closest to Xudu, and if you unite with him, you will have a better chance of attacking Xuchang."

"The third way, is Jiangdong Sun Ce, after Sun Ce broke away from Yuan, in the name of his father to conquer Jiangdong, has now successfully won the six counties of Jiangdong, some time ago he asked the court for the official position of the great Sima, so he was resentful, and tasted the intention of attacking Xuchang, if the lord wants to ally with him, he will definitely not ask for it."

"The lord can send Mr. Yuanlong to Jiangdong to talk to Sun Ceyan about the alliance, and as for Runan and Wancheng, it will be sent by Senior Brother Zaixia and Zilong."

After listening to Xiao Feng's explanation, Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction again; "In the past, our three brothers all took one step at a time, but now Feng'er has planned what to do in the future, which is very good!"

"In that case, let's wait for Feng'er to marry my daughter, and then start executing your plan."

When Xiao Feng heard this, he almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out.

This Liu Bei, why is he still thinking about marrying his daughter to himself?

It's not that Xiao Feng is hypocritical, but he has followed the two masters on Longhu Mountain for many years, and he has always been casual and habitual, even if he marries a daughter-in-law, he can't take care of others, so it's better to be alone and happy.

So, Xiao Feng hurriedly said: "No, my lord, now Cao Yuan and Yuan may start a war when, without further ado, we have to act quickly, otherwise it will be too late, let's wait until the matter is done, and then talk about marriage." ”

Xiao Feng can see that Liu Bei is determined to marry his daughter to him, and he can delay it, and when he helps Liu Bei successfully revive the Han family, he will let the girl go......

Liu Bei said silently: "Okay, when does Feng'er plan to leave for Runan?" ”

Xiao Feng replied, "Let's leave tomorrow." ”

Chen Deng and Zhao Yun echoed; "In that case, then we will also leave tomorrow and go to Jiangdong and Wancheng."

"Okay, I wish you a smooth return, and I will wait for good news with Yi Deyun." Liu Bei solemnly raised a glass of wine and said.

Xiao Feng, Zhao Yun, and Chen Deng replied: "Thank you, lord." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Feng, Zhao Yun, and Chen Deng set off separately, preparing to go to Runan, Wancheng and Jiangdong.

Outside Xuzhou City, before parting, Zhao Yun was a little worried and said to Xiao Feng: "Senior brother, although Zhang Xiu is our senior brother, we have never met him, you said that he would obey the persuasion and submit to the lord." ”

Xiao Fengle said: "Senior brother, even if you go to persuade you, Zhang Xiu will listen to it, if you don't listen, you can go to Runan to find me, I have my own way to make him obedient." ”

"How? Brother, tell me now. Zhao Yun was puzzled.

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As a last resort, I still don't want to use that method, you go first, senior brother." ”

Seeing that Xiao Feng refused to speak, Zhao Yun, who was a senior brother, did not force it too much, so he went straight to Wancheng.

As for Xiao Feng, of course, it was Ben Runan.

At the speed of the red rabbit horse traveling thousands of miles a day, it didn't take long for Xiao Feng to arrive in Runan County.

After arriving at Runan County, Xiao Feng found that the defenders here were similar to Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others, all wearing yellow scarves and cloth armor.

As Xiao Feng's younger brother, Zhou Cang naturally followed, and Xiao Feng also laughed and teased him: "How is it, looking at the defenders here, is it a little kind?" ”
